I came up with the name Guest Chef for my new in-home catering business for a few reasons. First of all, there is no denying that nearly every time I'm invited over to someone's house, I end up cooking (or at least helping) in the kitchen. I can't help myself. It's where I feel most comfortable! Secondly, if you hire me to cook for you I will become a guest in your home, which I happen to consider a huge privilege. Thirdly, if I'm invited to cater an event or dinner party at your house, you will invite more guests over to participate in all the fun. So the word "guest" just seems to perfectly describe this new project of mine.
